Pirate High Command t-shirt design (need photoshop help)

[FirstAmongstDaves]

PIRATE HIGH COMMAND!

We plunder, raid and sack, and may God help any goats we find in our travels!

Because pretending to be a fearsome and dangerous buccaneer on the internet is so not a waste of time.

This is the blurb from our clan profile:

Description:
Pirate leadership, to bring war of the enemies on pirates.

Being a pirate is a state of mind, and you do not need to be from the shipwreck to be a member of the Pirate High Command. If you:

a) like skewering smart-mouthed traders with their smarmy "I'm sorry I have too many empty gourds" rubbish,

b) keep members of Open Arms as housepets,

c) think most natives are uppity savages who need to learn a thing or two about European diseases

d) know that goats aren't for eating

e) believe there is something sensually intriguing about organised mass raids on unsuspecting indigeneous townsfolk

then this clan is for you.

Mercenaries, corsairs, privateers, turncoat natives and cannibals, cut-throats, sociopaths, and anyone with a proven and unrelenting committment to unprovoked and wanton violence are welcome.

I suppose that might all fit on a t-shirt...

I like the line about being a fearsome pirate.

"Bloodthirsty"?

I like the line about goats.

What does it mean you need photoshop help?

I am photoshop inept. I need to find an online tutorial somewhere...

[KingBiscuit]

What's with the merman?

Me, I think we should have a skull smoking an opium pipe

= can we turn it into a t-shirt design?

yup. you just need to know how the pic should be prepared - cafepress for example got their special guidelines and I assume other vendors do the same.
